What does this skill do?
Is it effective as a hybrid / DPS Druid?
And does it use more or less energy than Storm Touch?

Thanks.

Can I ask what rings you use?

It seems you have a lvl 50 swarm but that means your vines must be much lower since only way to make it lvl 50 is with 3 ring slots

Or did you just do it on purpose to show how much energy it uses at lvl 50

Ps: that energy cost is f***** up

getting both swarm and vines requires rings, im not sure if theres any skull/helm/mordris drop that adds over 5 to swarm, and maybe he got aggy vines rings (and if he did hes a lucky ***, dont think ive seen one yet)

I made it level 50 to show its maximum potential but normally keep both vines and bees at 49. I use no aggy gear.

While we're on the topic. I do not like this skill. I use it in group and I'll get aggro from all enemies. Also it costs a lot to cast, unless it's used on 2 or more enemies, I'd rather use vines. Any advice on aggro?

When it comes to bosses I find bees does consistently more damage than vines.

It helps me a lot especially because I am a just healing druid so it helps me do at least a little bit of damage when I'm leveling with other people. Use it it is better than storm touch

better then storm yeah, energy is worse tho. also needs a faster recast then storm and vines.

for energy this skill is the worst, for dmg on bosses its damn good.

also my swarms do almost 1.1k at 49, so with enough focus u can improve.
